*****************************

"I am a bicycle mechanic, educator and journalist. I can provide technical help with most types of bicycles. I’m also quite experienced as a Webmaster and photographer. Please don't ask me about stationery exercise equipment, only real bicycles.
I've been a bicycle mechanic off and on for many years. I taught bicycle mechanics for several years at the Boston Center for Adult Education. I have written a great many articles for bicycle magazines. I have an extensive bicycle-related Website, see: http://sheldonbrown.com/articles.html. I own 30-odd bicycles, some of them very odd indeed! I also worked for several years as a camera repairman."
